More Info

The origins of Francavilla Marittima date back to the time of ” Magna Graecia” with the construction of the legendary city of “Lagaria” in turn founded on the remains of the indigenous village: that of the Enotrians.

VillaFranca’s name means “Tribute-Free Country,” later renewed to Francavilla and in 1863 adjectified as Maritime because it is near the sea.

The late medieval old town, encloses in its heart one of the most important monuments from the environmental historical point of view, “The Old Fountain” built in 1793 with the 3 barrels from which water flows collected in 3 marble basins.

Also worth visiting is the Rovitti Palace, built in the first half of the 19th century and featuring a uniform facade with ornate windows.

The mother church the Annunziata is dedicated is built in the 18th century and features a bell tower built in the 17th century.

Other churches present in Francavilla are:Church Madonna del Carmine, Church Madonna degli Infermi, built on the original aristocratic chapel of the Serra di Cassano dukes, sold in the 18th century to the Apolito family, which in 1806 totally rebuilt the building, dedicating it to the Blessed Virgin of the Infirm who appeared on the night of September 14, 1806.

The Church of St. Lucy and the Church of St. Emmidio are also worth a visit.
